“Healthcare professionals have been working hard since the start of the outbreak – they truly are the nation’s unsung heroes and we want to support them however we can. For instance, medical professionals can share their knowledge and insights with our users during Q&A sessions on Bigo Live. Over the weekend, Bigo Live donated 6,000 masks to three hospitals: Chulalongkorn hospital, Ratchawithi hospital and Ramathibodi hospital. In the next two days, we will be sending care packages comprising masks, hand gels and disposable rubber gloves to Bigo Live broadcasters and users,” Mike added.
“Being a nurse, especially during such a difficult period, has posed many challenges – such as working up to 48 hours and missing out on spending quality time with my family. However, I seek joy and happiness through Bigo Live, the platform has given me many opportunities to meet new people from all over the world and share my life stories and experiences. More importantly, Bigo Live has allowed me to share healthcare knowledge and tips to viewers, in light of the pandemic. I aspire to continue providing quality and engaging content to my users,” said Ploy, a local broadcaster.
Currently, Bigo Live has over 23.1 million Monthly Active Users according to Q4’s 2019, and the interest from the public has been overwhelming, with millions of users across the country/world logging on to Bigo Live in anticipation of these sharing sessions.
